  1. Hi all, just posting to note that I have heard nothing since the last update in October. Too much to expect the case to be closed? MCOL hasn't changed since I added post #91, so all quiet on the western front!
  2. Thanks dx - not so much panic, as "mildly concerned"! I have read other threads, but I guess it was the fact I'd missed it that was an issue. Anyway - I've told them no more emails, and will wait to see what the postie brings in due course Cheers
  3. Hi Just thought I'd give you a link to my case with PCN/DCBL as I'm a little bit ahead of you in the process (but not much!), so thought it could help you?
  4. MCOL claim history copy & pasted as requested - thanks DX....

  5. Ok guys, bigger update... Yes, I had to send an email when i sent the snotty letter, as it needed to go by a set date and i was away at the time (as per post 42). Annoyed about it, but we move on... I've just seen an email from them of 6th october, with an N180 DIRECTIONS form attached. Bugger, missed that should i upload it here? Thanks for the suggested email response LFI, will send that once I've been pointed in the right direction Re the N180. sending a 'no more emails' to them today though. Thanks all

  7. Just thought I'd drop by with a very little update - defence was filed as above, and MCOL system shows as received the following day so all good there. I received a letter from the Court Service saying, "we've got your defence, so now it's in the hands of the Claimant." And here we are - almost a month later, and not a peep from anyone. What happens next? Do I literally do nothing until I hear from the court? And how do I know if the claim is proceeding or has been stayed? Bit confused by the dates as you can probably tell! Cheers
  8. Thanks DX, standard defence with just my car reg. Will submit later next week just before deadline. Cheers
  9. Ah ok - so removing the bits is red keeps it vague at this stage, then I hit them with the facts on the Witness Statement?
  10. Me as the registered keeper. Definitely not admitted anything on that score 8th September I think! Does the AOS extend the deadline date?
  11. This is my draft defence so far... The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. It is admitted that the Defendant is the recorded keeper of CAR REG NUMBER HERE. The Claimant is not in a position to state if the Defendant was the driver at the time. 2. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. 3. It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant. Further, it is denied that the Claimants signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract. 4. In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant. 5. The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the recovery claimed or any recovery at all.
  12. Sorry @Nicky Boy That's not my defence! I'm just trying to get my head around a few things, so I can put the defence together in a meaningful way. Or am I confusing that with the Witness Statement?!
